Top 10 apps for iOS and Android (13 — March 19)

During the period 13 to 19 March in the App Store and Google Play appeared not so many interesting applications, as we would like, however, we are not changing our tradition, still chose the best of them, and added our weekly TOP 10. If You missed the last compilation of the application, follow this link.

Black Blue

Developer: Abdullah Firat

Price: 0,99 $ (iOS) for free (Android)

In the App Store and Google Play have not been quality puzzles with the unique gameplay — all new items that have appeared in app stores, for the most part consisted of the same type of arcade.

To change this state of Affairs is decided by the Studio Abdullah Firat, who recently introduced their first product called Black Blue. This game is a meditative puzzle game with some elements of the strategy — agree, sounds very interesting.

Gameplay Black Blue to explain in words is not easy, but nevertheless we will try. So, each game level represents a set of gray dots that are the outline of the shape located in the upper part of the screen. First on the playing field there will appear a black dot, the next move is yours.

You need to take your position, repainted gray point in the color blue. Then on your and the black points are distributed the lines of the corresponding color. In order to win the level, you need to occupy a large part of the figure a different color.

The first levels may seem very simple: the total figure will contain a small number of key points, and your speed and the opponent will be allocated only one point. But in this mode have to play for very long — after passing 5-7 levels you will be confronted with significant difficulties. On locations will receive more points, and completing the level will be several stages — after the victory over AI figure turned, commemorating a new mental battle.

Consequently, for each level you have to think strategically, and very well put points, which later occupied a large part of the figure. Each new level in the game in some sense is an intellectual confrontation, and the gameplay itself might be a good one for PvP-mode.

By the way, the game was a place for him — in the settings you can choose the mode for two players, arranging games duel on already completed levels.

In addition, the game Black Blue stands out against other projects in a pleasant minimalist graphics implementation that is complimented by the relaxing music track.

In the Game there is no advertising, like any in-app purchase, but iOS version of the paid game, and this is very true — the developers ask for it only 0.99 $. In turn, the game version for devices running under the Android operating system, distributed free of charge.

Carrier pigeon

Developer: Pavel Hordan

Cost: free

Game Homer tells of the plight of pigeons, but the gameplay is compounded by the fact that our dove everything else is not able to fly.

The plot of the game (if you can call it that), is extremely simple. You are feathered postman which whatever became obliged to deliver the coveted letter to the mailbox. Making it very difficult for three main factors.

First, each game location is a labyrinth. You are in the very beginning, and Inbox, respectively, at the opposite end.

Secondly, the game will be severely punished indecisive players — each maze will be either inundated with water or destroyed by the avalanche, or not to self-destruct. The third key factor which we have already mentioned at the beginning, is that our brave dove can’t use the wings — brand the entire maze, he will be overcome with the help of its thin and not very suitable for the legs.

With each new level game speed will grow rapidly, further complicating the task of the game. However, in the game you will have to wait a lot of bonuses. On the locations You will be able to find sunflower seeds, collecting that You can improve the possibilities of your feathered postman. When a sufficient number of collected seeds he can walk through walls of the maze faster thereby shortening the distance to the finish mark.

You’ll be able to decide whether to use this ability or not. All the collected seeds will go together with you on the new stages, however, in case of loss of gameplay will have to start from the beginning — to fix the situation only by means of watching commercials.

Pursuit on the track

Game Chase on the highway has some similarities with product Traffic Rider from the developer Soner Kara, however, is still able to claim the title of a standalone product.

The plot of the game, You are not the most competent or successful theft. The consequence of such a situation is the following: You are at full speed cut dense road traffic, the heat is measured hundreds of cops everywhere, helicopters, and the roads are scattered spikes and traps.

That’s what you have to see for all gaming sessions. To avoid justice in this game is unlikely to happen even Chuck Norris, as the Pursuit on the track is a game with infinite duration. All that you have to hope, is raising the bar of personal records, or at worst — self-realization in the craft of auto theft against the background of less successful friends.

Your main task – to go to perform various tasks, and to enjoy high game dynamics. However, all your efforts are not so unprincipled — the game will please you with new locations and, of course, new machines, each with its own set of improvements.

The game has great graphical implementation, but also fairly simple, but very dynamic gameplay. Cars on the road a lot, the police are extremely agile and proactive, and the fuel in your gas tank has a bad habit to an end. In order to avoid being arrested for the most stupid reason in the world — there is no gasoline in the tank — don’t forget to be attached to the back of the huge trucks. This way You will be able to replenish fuel and continue your way to victory.

As the most typical representative of the genre of time-killer, much to find fault with the game is not worth it. Here are all of Feng Shui: acceptable level of graphics, gameplay and cheerful one-click. All game currency can be earned on their own, but how much it will take time — it is a totally different issue.

To move on the proposed locations are used the swipe, the maximum number of which, of course, limited. Therefore, to our ever-hungry toaster increased the rate of satiation, it is necessary to make accurate jumps. To do this, it isn’t just due to the fact that your electrical device into the game, there are enemies. They are spiked donuts and sharp forks, which rather quickly can lead protagonist in the state.

In addition to the above, in the game Toaster Swipe was a place for auxiliary facilities — it jars with delicious jams, directing our toaster in a certain direction, and cups of coffee, giving the protagonist the accelerating energy. All in the game a few dozen levels, but this gameplay is not limited, as in Toaster Swipe you can find and 3 endless modes.

Cost: 0,99 $ (iOS) 69,99 UAH (Android)

Botanicula is a unique adventure the likes of which neither the App Store nor in Google Play. For developers to build such projects is risky, due to the complexity of the design and size of the target audience, so each new project such a high level definitely attracts a lot of attention.

It is worth noting that at the time of creating the game Botanicula Studio Amanita Design has had considerable experience, because it is thanks to her efforts, the world saw one of the most popular and successful of quest — Machinarium. Of course, these games can be traced some Parallels, and one of the locations you can even see the main character of “Machinarium”.

From the comparisons, there is no getting away, and the main difference between the two projects Amanita Design is the level of difficulty in games has dropped significantly. Management of “point’n’click” remained unchanged, but the quest, in the full sense of the word, became less. Many of the tasks that will have to decide the player as you progress through (which takes less than five hours) is performed using the “method of scientific spear.”

However, Botanicula is much more pluses than minuses, which is confirmed by numerous awards and high ratings from known game critics. First and foremost, it is worth noting the atmosphere, which quickly captivates the user.

The plot of the game, the four friends are sent to find the last seed of the tree on which they live.

Your task in the game is to care for tiny sprouts a little tree trimming excess branches and allowing the plant to stretch toward the light to grow big beautiful flowers.

In the end, like scenes from Japanese epics, they circled the white rain of petals, but before you will be in real time to solve a lot of problems. The original lawn may be littered with rockfall pit, a branch under its own weight will tend to the ground, away from sunlight, and dangerous red spheres will bring toxins. In the later stages the task list updated with worries about pollination and giving the trunk a certain reference to the curved shape.

For half the year in the amount spent on the project, the developer of the game, MacDonald, went through about a dozen concepts step by step rejecting most of the common schemes. He decided to abandon the endless gameplay, because if the ultimate goal and clearly defined, it is much easier to implement the next level and then pass it.

In some ways, the developer first went across the way are invited to follow the player, being able to cut off all the excess and leaving only what is really worth to focus my heart and mind begin to grow your tree.

This is not limited to: on the path of the fungus and then will encounter unexpected obstacles. Boiling lava, boulders, buildings and facilities within them — all of it will be noise that you have to deal with.

Although first steps do not differ special complexity, aided by the numerous checkpoints, but closer to the middle of the game the puzzles will sharply become impassable. That is, the ease with which You will face in the beginning, Mushroom 11, is actually deceptive.

Each game level ends with a boss. The leaders here specific, become the main character. Each of them has its weaknesses and you will have to look for them. If one boss can be defeated using his own weapons, in order to cope with others, have, for example, for him to walk.
